FRENCH MILLINERY.
Winter Hats and Bonnets Sent Over fnom
Partisan Ateliers.

stttlltTss
French round hats are dressy, and
with small pointed pokes will be worn
by young ladies in preference to bon
nets. The Boulanger, with its brim
rolled up high on each side in military
style, is the most masculine design
sent over by Paris milliners, and is
shown handsomely made of dark green
felt with widely bound edges, trimmed
along the top of the crown with green
MORE ribbon loops and green cocks
plumes. To match dressy costumes OF
velvet cloth or silk, young ladies will
wear round hats not unlike those OF
last year, with soft half-high crowns
and velvet brims; the brim is made in
crescent-shape, higher in the back, and
much of the trimming is placed behind
and on top of the crown. The small
pointed poke, sometimes called the Bo-
Peep. is really stringless bonnet, and
will be worn again with soft crown of
embroidered cloth or velvet and beaded
brim. or else brim of gilt or silver
cord passcmenterie in open lace-like
pattern. Large and important-lookine
hats of velvet and lace are also sent out
from Paris, some of them with wide
brims irregularly rolled, and Others
with a broad poke front, as in the
Comtesse Sara hat, with most of the
trimming Mt the back of the crown, and
long ribbons hanging from the back,
which are brought forward and tied
under the chin. Such hats are made
of velvet with many small ostrich tips
for trimming, and moire strings. Sim
liar pokes are fashionable for misses
and small girls, wide sash ribbons be-
ing used for erect loops up the back of
the crown. without other trimming un-
less very narrow fold or band of
velvet encircles the crown.
French bonnets remain very small,
and their trimming is broadcned and
lowered, as will be readily seen when
comparing them with the high slender
trimmings of last winters bonnets.
Felt and cloth bonnets for general
wear may be plain or with full soft
crowns, or else they are linked on the
edges or there are rows of scalloped
pinking forming the entire bonnet.
Embroidery, which is great feature
of millinery at present, is applied both
to felt and cloth, sometimes in narrow
scalloped rows which alternate with
velvet folds or ribbons on the whole
bonnet, or else merely the crown is en-
broidered, with plain velvet brim, or
on the contrary, the embroidery forms
! band for the front of
IN otherwise plain velvet bonnet.
A large bow with cross loops in Alsac-
an style, yet much fuller than the fiat
ooped bow of Alsace, is seen on small
and also on round hats. The
'ronts of bonnets are most varied,
some having merely cord of velvet
llong the edge, with folds behind it,
while Others are coronets covered with
beads. and still others have pinked |
rills of silk, or small face trimming
If coquettish ribbon bows just over the
middle of the forehead. Wider ribbons
ire used for bows, and also for strings,
nut the short narrow velvet strings and
lender velvet bow at the throat are by |

SPREADING MANURE,
How II Can bo Done Economically and II

- short Space of Time.
manure spreader Is of advantage
as far us the spreading is concerned,
but disadvantage in hauling to the
field. 1t might do very we'll IL three
farmers would each purchase one, and
agree to lend to each other so that one
man could have the use of the three
until all his manure was spread. Sup
pose, now, you have three hundred
loads of manure to spread, and but one
manure spreader and you desire to en-
ploy your three men to do the work
the query is, how can you economically
manage the laborp
Many hours of valuable time are lost
by bad management in handling
manure. The average man will unload
in small piles n load of manure weigh
ing $500 to $500 pounds in ten min
utes. A man must be active to spread
that amount evenly and shake it to
pieces thoroughly, in forty-six minutes.
A little practice will enable man to
unload and partially scatter the load
in fifteen minutes. Preparatory to
SIichuihS Win uIHS ulstIlDulc
rs follows: Partially scatter on one side
of the wagon, making the manure cover
space on the ground as wide rs the
drag Is, say four feet; drive the wagon
in straight line until unloaded; begin
with the next load where you started
with the first and throw the manure of
so that space of about four feet will
remain uncovered. After unloading
say twenty loads in this way and before
the manure has had time to become
hard and dry, cross these rows with the
drag, making the horses travel rapidly. |
A fast walk does well, but slow trot |
is better Very good work can be done
in this way. In Ii hours l have spread |
l2 to 10 loads, unloaded as above di-
rected. The most of it was pulverized
better and finer than you would ordi-
narily do with pitchfork; some long
manure needed spreading with the fork
afterwards. The manure was dragged
three times. Notice the time saved.
Placing the time of n team equal to that
of man, nearly six hours labor is
saved by spreading with drag. u E.
